My story and I’m sticking to it—
gonna make some swell kombucha—
Mama scoby gonna brew it.
First, the scoby sucks up the sugar.
A scoby is a round white mushroom-thing in a
jar of sweetened tea—my story, I’m sticking to it.
The culture of a scoby's symbiotic,
though trying to visualize might make you puke.
Mama scoby gonna brew it.
Truth is, there’s not a thing more to it—
living mash of bacteria and yeast
telling a loving story to ya
about just how sour you can stand it
when you hark back to the good old days.
Mama scoby gonna brew it
and cast off dark brown baby scobies.
Time to put Mama in the compost.
My story and I’m sticking to it—
Mama scoby gonna brew it.
